Salí River
river in Argentina
The Salí River (Spanish: Río Salí) is a large river in north-west Argentina. It is the most important river in Tucumán Province; most cities and towns in the province, including its capital, San Miguel de Tucumán, lay on its basin.
The Salí is fed by precipitation captured in the Calchaquíes range next to Salta Province, and its flow is increased by the numerous streams from the Sierra del Aconquija range, and other rivers. Flowing mostly through the province of Tucumán, its river basin also includes parts of Salta and Catamarca provinces. The Salí continues to Santiago del Estero Province with the name of Dulce River, and dies at the Mar Chiquita salt lagoon in Córdoba Province.
Three main dams have been constructed both for the production of hydroelectric energy and irrigation; two in the Tucumán Province: El Cadillal and Escaba, and Los Quiroga in Santiago del Estero Province.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Salí River” as river in Argentina. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as river in Argentina. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7407003. VIAF identifies the subject as 7810150325550210090008. The Library of Congress control number is sh95000520. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
